Dr. Lemley rocks my world
Posted by Frank under Steelers, Pittsburgh Sports, Classes
Yesterday in History of Pittsburgh, the three main points of discussion were:
- How ridiculous the city was after the Steelers won the Super Bowl in 2005.
- How crazy people got when the Steelers won the Super Bowl in 2009
- How BATSHIT INSANE the city got when the Steelers did a three-peat from 2014-2016.
There was a bit of a slump after that, but this year’s been looking pretty good so far. We have a new coach, so that always brings some uncertainty to the season, but I have faith. And in keeping with the progressive Rooney tradition, the new coach is a very awesome guy–he hired the first TWO female coaches in the NFL. One’s the special teams coach and the other is the defensive backs coach.
Their backgrounds are very interesting, and somewhat similar. Through Title IX, they both got the chance to become star athletes in college, and after they graduated, they got into coaching in college football. They’ve been working their way up since then, and the Steelers decided gave them a shot.
It’s nice to live in a city where even the football team is socially innovative!

It sucks that it took this long, but I am sooo happy about the additions to Steeler staff. I’d like to think that our protests & letter writing campaigns did the trick. I guess grassroots activism is the one thing that doesn’t change over the years. Only in Pittsburgh do the radical feminists rally around football issues. Oh, yeah, how ’bout ‘em Passion players too?
